@@ -64,10 +64,65 @@ LDK Node currently comes with a decidedly opinionated set of design choices:
 
 - On-chain data is handled by the integrated [BDK][bdk] wallet.
 - Chain data may currently be sourced from the Bitcoin Core RPC interface, or from an [Electrum][electrum] or [Esplora][esplora] server.
-- Wallet and channel state may be persisted to an [SQLite][sqlite] or [PostgreSQL][postgresql] database, to file system, or to a custom back-end to be implemented by the user.
+- Wallet and channel state may be persisted to an [SQLite][sqlite] or [PostgreSQL][postgresql] database, to the filesystem, to a VSS server, or to a custom back-end to be implemented by the user.
 - Gossip data may be sourced via Lightning's peer-to-peer network or the [Rapid Gossip Sync](https://docs.rs/lightning-rapid-gossip-sync/*/lightning_rapid_gossip_sync/) protocol.
 - Entropy for the Lightning and on-chain wallets may be sourced from raw bytes or a [BIP39](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) mnemonic. In addition, LDK Node offers the means to generate and persist the entropy bytes to disk.
 
+### Cargo Features
+
+LDK Node's optional dependencies are grouped by the functionality they provide:
+
+| Feature | Functionality |
+| --- | --- |
+| `chain-esplora` | Esplora chain source |
+| `chain-electrum` | Electrum chain source |
+| `chain-bitcoind` | Bitcoin Core RPC and REST chain source |
+| `storage-sqlite` | SQLite storage |
+| `storage-filesystem` | Filesystem storage |
+| `storage-vss` | Versioned Storage Service storage |
+| `storage-postgres` | PostgreSQL storage |
+| `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` | PostgreSQL storage with vendored OpenSSL |
+| `unified-payments` | BIP 21 and human-readable-name payment support |
+| `uniffi` | UniFFI language bindings |
+| `uniffi-default` | The standard language-binding feature set |
+
+The `default` feature set preserves the native Rust API's previous behavior. It enables all three
+chain sources, SQLite, filesystem and VSS storage, and unified payments. PostgreSQL and UniFFI
+remain opt-in. Every build must enable at least one chain source feature.
+
+On Linux, `storage-postgres` uses the system OpenSSL installation and requires the OpenSSL
+development headers and `pkg-config`. Enable `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` instead to build
+OpenSSL from source. Vendored builds require a C compiler, `make`, and Perl.
+
+Disable the default features to select only the functionality and dependencies an application
+needs. For example:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features chain-esplora,storage-sqlite
+```
+
+`uniffi-default` enables UniFFI, Esplora, Electrum, SQLite, VSS, and unified payments. It excludes
+Bitcoin Core, filesystem storage, and PostgreSQL. Binding users can add any of those features:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi-default,chain-bitcoind
+```
+
+Use `uniffi` directly instead of `uniffi-default` to assemble a fully custom binding build. For
+example, a Bitcoin Core and PostgreSQL-only binding build uses:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi,chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres
+```
+
+The binding generation scripts use `uniffi-default`. Set `LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES` to add features
+to their builds:
+
+```shell
+LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES=chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres \
+	./scripts/uniffi_bindgen_generate_python.sh
+```
+
 ## Compatibility
 
 LDK Node does not provide a stable public API until v1.0. Persisted node state is backwards compatible: newer releases are guaranteed to load state written by older releases. Downgrades are not supported, so state written by a newer release may not load with an older release.

@@ -64,10 +64,65 @@ LDK Node currently comes with a decidedly opinionated set of design choices:
 
 - On-chain data is handled by the integrated [BDK][bdk] wallet.
 - Chain data may currently be sourced from the Bitcoin Core RPC interface, or from an [Electrum][electrum] or [Esplora][esplora] server.
-- Wallet and channel state may be persisted to an [SQLite][sqlite] or [PostgreSQL][postgresql] database, to file system, or to a custom back-end to be implemented by the user.
+- Wallet and channel state may be persisted to an [SQLite][sqlite] or [PostgreSQL][postgresql] database, to the filesystem, to a VSS server, or to a custom back-end to be implemented by the user.
 - Gossip data may be sourced via Lightning's peer-to-peer network or the [Rapid Gossip Sync](https://docs.rs/lightning-rapid-gossip-sync/*/lightning_rapid_gossip_sync/) protocol.
 - Entropy for the Lightning and on-chain wallets may be sourced from raw bytes or a [BIP39](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) mnemonic. In addition, LDK Node offers the means to generate and persist the entropy bytes to disk.
 
+### Cargo Features
+
+LDK Node's optional dependencies are grouped by the functionality they provide:
+
+| Feature | Functionality |
+| --- | --- |
+| `chain-esplora` | Esplora chain source |
+| `chain-electrum` | Electrum chain source |
+| `chain-bitcoind` | Bitcoin Core RPC and REST chain source |
+| `storage-sqlite` | SQLite storage |
+| `storage-filesystem` | Filesystem storage |
+| `storage-vss` | Versioned Storage Service storage |
+| `storage-postgres` | PostgreSQL storage |
+| `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` | PostgreSQL storage with vendored OpenSSL |
+| `unified-payments` | BIP 21 and human-readable-name payment support |
+| `uniffi` | UniFFI language bindings |
+| `uniffi-default` | The standard language-binding feature set |
+
+The `default` feature set preserves the native Rust API's previous behavior. It enables all three
+chain sources, SQLite, filesystem and VSS storage, and unified payments. PostgreSQL and UniFFI
+remain opt-in. Every build must enable at least one chain source feature.
+
+On Linux, `storage-postgres` uses the system OpenSSL installation and requires the OpenSSL
+development headers and `pkg-config`. Enable `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` instead to build
+OpenSSL from source. Vendored builds require a C compiler, `make`, and Perl.
+
+Disable the default features to select only the functionality and dependencies an application
+needs. For example:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features chain-esplora,storage-sqlite
+```
+
+`uniffi-default` enables UniFFI, Esplora, Electrum, SQLite, VSS, and unified payments. It excludes
+Bitcoin Core, filesystem storage, and PostgreSQL. Binding users can add any of those features:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi-default,chain-bitcoind
+```
+
+Use `uniffi` directly instead of `uniffi-default` to assemble a fully custom binding build. For
+example, a Bitcoin Core and PostgreSQL-only binding build uses:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi,chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres
+```
+
+The binding generation scripts use `uniffi-default`. Set `LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES` to add features
+to their builds:
+
+```shell
+LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES=chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres \
+	./scripts/uniffi_bindgen_generate_python.sh
+```
+
 ## Compatibility
 
 LDK Node does not provide a stable public API until v1.0. Persisted node state is backwards compatible: newer releases are guaranteed to load state written by older releases. Downgrades are not supported, so state written by a newer release may not load with an older release.

@@ -64,10 +64,65 @@ LDK Node currently comes with a decidedly opinionated set of design choices:
 
 - On-chain data is handled by the integrated [BDK][bdk] wallet.
 - Chain data may currently be sourced from the Bitcoin Core RPC interface, or from an [Electrum][electrum] or [Esplora][esplora] server.
-- Wallet and channel state may be persisted to an [SQLite][sqlite] or [PostgreSQL][postgresql] database, to file system, or to a custom back-end to be implemented by the user.
+- Wallet and channel state may be persisted to an [SQLite][sqlite] or [PostgreSQL][postgresql] database, to the filesystem, to a VSS server, or to a custom back-end to be implemented by the user.
 - Gossip data may be sourced via Lightning's peer-to-peer network or the [Rapid Gossip Sync](https://docs.rs/lightning-rapid-gossip-sync/*/lightning_rapid_gossip_sync/) protocol.
 - Entropy for the Lightning and on-chain wallets may be sourced from raw bytes or a [BIP39](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) mnemonic. In addition, LDK Node offers the means to generate and persist the entropy bytes to disk.
 
+### Cargo Features
+
+LDK Node's optional dependencies are grouped by the functionality they provide:
+
+| Feature | Functionality |
+| --- | --- |
+| `chain-esplora` | Esplora chain source |
+| `chain-electrum` | Electrum chain source |
+| `chain-bitcoind` | Bitcoin Core RPC and REST chain source |
+| `storage-sqlite` | SQLite storage |
+| `storage-filesystem` | Filesystem storage |
+| `storage-vss` | Versioned Storage Service storage |
+| `storage-postgres` | PostgreSQL storage |
+| `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` | PostgreSQL storage with vendored OpenSSL |
+| `unified-payments` | BIP 21 and human-readable-name payment support |
+| `uniffi` | UniFFI language bindings |
+| `uniffi-default` | The standard language-binding feature set |
+
+The `default` feature set preserves the native Rust API's previous behavior. It enables all three
+chain sources, SQLite, filesystem and VSS storage, and unified payments. PostgreSQL and UniFFI
+remain opt-in. Every build must enable at least one chain source feature.
+
+On Linux, `storage-postgres` uses the system OpenSSL installation and requires the OpenSSL
+development headers and `pkg-config`. Enable `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` instead to build
+OpenSSL from source. Vendored builds require a C compiler, `make`, and Perl.
+
+Disable the default features to select only the functionality and dependencies an application
+needs. For example:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features chain-esplora,storage-sqlite
+```
+
+`uniffi-default` enables UniFFI, Esplora, Electrum, SQLite, VSS, and unified payments. It excludes
+Bitcoin Core, filesystem storage, and PostgreSQL. Binding users can add any of those features:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi-default,chain-bitcoind
+```
+
+Use `uniffi` directly instead of `uniffi-default` to assemble a fully custom binding build. For
+example, a Bitcoin Core and PostgreSQL-only binding build uses:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi,chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres
+```
+
+The binding generation scripts use `uniffi-default`. Set `LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES` to add features
+to their builds:
+
+```shell
+LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES=chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres \
+	./scripts/uniffi_bindgen_generate_python.sh
+```
+
 ## Compatibility
 
 LDK Node does not provide a stable public API until v1.0. Persisted node state is backwards compatible: newer releases are guaranteed to load state written by older releases. Downgrades are not supported, so state written by a newer release may not load with an older release.

 - Gossip data may be sourced via Lightning's peer-to-peer network or the [Rapid Gossip Sync](https://docs.rs/lightning-rapid-gossip-sync/*/lightning_rapid_gossip_sync/) protocol.
 - Entropy for the Lightning and on-chain wallets may be sourced from raw bytes or a [BIP39](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) mnemonic. In addition, LDK Node offers the means to generate and persist the entropy bytes to disk.
 
+### Cargo Features
+
+LDK Node's optional dependencies are grouped by the functionality they provide:
+
+| Feature | Functionality |
+| --- | --- |
+| `chain-esplora` | Esplora chain source |
+| `chain-electrum` | Electrum chain source |
+| `chain-bitcoind` | Bitcoin Core RPC and REST chain source |
+| `storage-sqlite` | SQLite storage |
+| `storage-filesystem` | Filesystem storage |
+| `storage-vss` | Versioned Storage Service storage |
+| `storage-postgres` | PostgreSQL storage |
+| `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` | PostgreSQL storage with vendored OpenSSL |
+| `unified-payments` | BIP 21 and human-readable-name payment support |
+| `uniffi` | UniFFI language bindings |
+| `uniffi-default` | The standard language-binding feature set |
+
+The `default` feature set preserves the native Rust API's previous behavior. It enables all three
+chain sources, SQLite, filesystem and VSS storage, and unified payments. PostgreSQL and UniFFI
+remain opt-in. Every build must enable at least one chain source feature.
+
+On Linux, `storage-postgres` uses the system OpenSSL installation and requires the OpenSSL
+development headers and `pkg-config`. Enable `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` instead to build
+OpenSSL from source. Vendored builds require a C compiler, `make`, and Perl.
+
+Disable the default features to select only the functionality and dependencies an application
+needs. For example:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features chain-esplora,storage-sqlite
+```
+
+`uniffi-default` enables UniFFI, Esplora, Electrum, SQLite, VSS, and unified payments. It excludes
+Bitcoin Core, filesystem storage, and PostgreSQL. Binding users can add any of those features:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi-default,chain-bitcoind
+```
+
+Use `uniffi` directly instead of `uniffi-default` to assemble a fully custom binding build. For
+example, a Bitcoin Core and PostgreSQL-only binding build uses:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi,chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres
+```
+
+The binding generation scripts use `uniffi-default`. Set `LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES` to add features
+to their builds:
+
+```shell
+LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES=chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres \
+	./scripts/uniffi_bindgen_generate_python.sh
+```
+
 ## Compatibility
 
 LDK Node does not provide a stable public API until v1.0. Persisted node state is backwards compatible: newer releases are guaranteed to load state written by older releases. Downgrades are not supported, so state written by a newer release may not load with an older release.

+| `uniffi-default` | The standard language-binding feature set |
+
+The `default` feature set preserves the native Rust API's previous behavior. It enables all three
+chain sources, SQLite, filesystem and VSS storage, and unified payments. PostgreSQL and UniFFI
+remain opt-in. Every build must enable at least one chain source feature.
+
+On Linux, `storage-postgres` uses the system OpenSSL installation and requires the OpenSSL
+development headers and `pkg-config`. Enable `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` instead to build
+OpenSSL from source. Vendored builds require a C compiler, `make`, and Perl.
+
+Disable the default features to select only the functionality and dependencies an application
+needs. For example:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features chain-esplora,storage-sqlite
+```
+
+`uniffi-default` enables UniFFI, Esplora, Electrum, SQLite, VSS, and unified payments. It excludes
+Bitcoin Core, filesystem storage, and PostgreSQL. Binding users can add any of those features:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi-default,chain-bitcoind
+```
+
+Use `uniffi` directly instead of `uniffi-default` to assemble a fully custom binding build. For
+example, a Bitcoin Core and PostgreSQL-only binding build uses:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi,chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres
+```
+
+The binding generation scripts use `uniffi-default`. Set `LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES` to add features
+to their builds:
+
+```shell
+LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES=chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres \
+	./scripts/uniffi_bindgen_generate_python.sh
+```
+
 ## Compatibility
 
 LDK Node does not provide a stable public API until v1.0. Persisted node state is backwards compatible: newer releases are guaranteed to load state written by older releases. Downgrades are not supported, so state written by a newer release may not load with an older release.

 - Entropy for the Lightning and on-chain wallets may be sourced from raw bytes or a [BIP39](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) mnemonic. In addition, LDK Node offers the means to generate and persist the entropy bytes to disk.
 
+### Cargo Features
+
+LDK Node's optional dependencies are grouped by the functionality they provide:
+
+| Feature | Functionality |
+| --- | --- |
+| `chain-esplora` | Esplora chain source |
+| `chain-electrum` | Electrum chain source |
+| `chain-bitcoind` | Bitcoin Core RPC and REST chain source |
+| `storage-sqlite` | SQLite storage |
+| `storage-filesystem` | Filesystem storage |
+| `storage-vss` | Versioned Storage Service storage |
+| `storage-postgres` | PostgreSQL storage |
+| `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` | PostgreSQL storage with vendored OpenSSL |
+| `unified-payments` | BIP 21 and human-readable-name payment support |
+| `uniffi` | UniFFI language bindings |
+| `uniffi-default` | The standard language-binding feature set |
+
+The `default` feature set preserves the native Rust API's previous behavior. It enables all three
+chain sources, SQLite, filesystem and VSS storage, and unified payments. PostgreSQL and UniFFI
+remain opt-in. Every build must enable at least one chain source feature.
+
+On Linux, `storage-postgres` uses the system OpenSSL installation and requires the OpenSSL
+development headers and `pkg-config`. Enable `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` instead to build
+OpenSSL from source. Vendored builds require a C compiler, `make`, and Perl.
+
+Disable the default features to select only the functionality and dependencies an application
+needs. For example:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features chain-esplora,storage-sqlite
+```
+
+`uniffi-default` enables UniFFI, Esplora, Electrum, SQLite, VSS, and unified payments. It excludes
+Bitcoin Core, filesystem storage, and PostgreSQL. Binding users can add any of those features:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi-default,chain-bitcoind
+```
+
+Use `uniffi` directly instead of `uniffi-default` to assemble a fully custom binding build. For
+example, a Bitcoin Core and PostgreSQL-only binding build uses:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi,chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres
+```
+
+The binding generation scripts use `uniffi-default`. Set `LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES` to add features
+to their builds:
+
+```shell
+LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES=chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres \
+	./scripts/uniffi_bindgen_generate_python.sh

@@ -64,10 +64,65 @@ LDK Node currently comes with a decidedly opinionated set of design choices:
 
 - On-chain data is handled by the integrated [BDK][bdk] wallet.
 - Chain data may currently be sourced from the Bitcoin Core RPC interface, or from an [Electrum][electrum] or [Esplora][esplora] server.
-- Wallet and channel state may be persisted to an [SQLite][sqlite] or [PostgreSQL][postgresql] database, to file system, or to a custom back-end to be implemented by the user.
+- Wallet and channel state may be persisted to an [SQLite][sqlite] or [PostgreSQL][postgresql] database, to the filesystem, to a VSS server, or to a custom back-end to be implemented by the user.
 - Gossip data may be sourced via Lightning's peer-to-peer network or the [Rapid Gossip Sync](https://docs.rs/lightning-rapid-gossip-sync/*/lightning_rapid_gossip_sync/) protocol.
 - Entropy for the Lightning and on-chain wallets may be sourced from raw bytes or a [BIP39](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) mnemonic. In addition, LDK Node offers the means to generate and persist the entropy bytes to disk.
 
+### Cargo Features
+
+LDK Node's optional dependencies are grouped by the functionality they provide:
+
+| Feature | Functionality |
+| --- | --- |
+| `chain-esplora` | Esplora chain source |
+| `chain-electrum` | Electrum chain source |
+| `chain-bitcoind` | Bitcoin Core RPC and REST chain source |
+| `storage-sqlite` | SQLite storage |
+| `storage-filesystem` | Filesystem storage |
+| `storage-vss` | Versioned Storage Service storage |
+| `storage-postgres` | PostgreSQL storage |
+| `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` | PostgreSQL storage with vendored OpenSSL |
+| `unified-payments` | BIP 21 and human-readable-name payment support |
+| `uniffi` | UniFFI language bindings |
+| `uniffi-default` | The standard language-binding feature set |
+
+The `default` feature set preserves the native Rust API's previous behavior. It enables all three
+chain sources, SQLite, filesystem and VSS storage, and unified payments. PostgreSQL and UniFFI
+remain opt-in. Every build must enable at least one chain source feature.
+
+On Linux, `storage-postgres` uses the system OpenSSL installation and requires the OpenSSL
+development headers and `pkg-config`. Enable `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` instead to build
+OpenSSL from source. Vendored builds require a C compiler, `make`, and Perl.
+
+Disable the default features to select only the functionality and dependencies an application
+needs. For example:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features chain-esplora,storage-sqlite
+```
+
+`uniffi-default` enables UniFFI, Esplora, Electrum, SQLite, VSS, and unified payments. It excludes
+Bitcoin Core, filesystem storage, and PostgreSQL. Binding users can add any of those features:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi-default,chain-bitcoind
+```
+
+Use `uniffi` directly instead of `uniffi-default` to assemble a fully custom binding build. For
+example, a Bitcoin Core and PostgreSQL-only binding build uses:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi,chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres
+```
+
+The binding generation scripts use `uniffi-default`. Set `LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES` to add features
+to their builds:
+
+```shell
+LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES=chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres \
+	./scripts/uniffi_bindgen_generate_python.sh
+```
+
 ## Compatibility
 
 LDK Node does not provide a stable public API until v1.0. Persisted node state is backwards compatible: newer releases are guaranteed to load state written by older releases. Downgrades are not supported, so state written by a newer release may not load with an older release.

@@ -64,10 +64,65 @@ LDK Node currently comes with a decidedly opinionated set of design choices:
 
 - On-chain data is handled by the integrated [BDK][bdk] wallet.
 - Chain data may currently be sourced from the Bitcoin Core RPC interface, or from an [Electrum][electrum] or [Esplora][esplora] server.
-- Wallet and channel state may be persisted to an [SQLite][sqlite] or [PostgreSQL][postgresql] database, to file system, or to a custom back-end to be implemented by the user.
+- Wallet and channel state may be persisted to an [SQLite][sqlite] or [PostgreSQL][postgresql] database, to the filesystem, to a VSS server, or to a custom back-end to be implemented by the user.
 - Gossip data may be sourced via Lightning's peer-to-peer network or the [Rapid Gossip Sync](https://docs.rs/lightning-rapid-gossip-sync/*/lightning_rapid_gossip_sync/) protocol.
 - Entropy for the Lightning and on-chain wallets may be sourced from raw bytes or a [BIP39](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki) mnemonic. In addition, LDK Node offers the means to generate and persist the entropy bytes to disk.
 
+### Cargo Features
+
+LDK Node's optional dependencies are grouped by the functionality they provide:
+
+| Feature | Functionality |
+| --- | --- |
+| `chain-esplora` | Esplora chain source |
+| `chain-electrum` | Electrum chain source |
+| `chain-bitcoind` | Bitcoin Core RPC and REST chain source |
+| `storage-sqlite` | SQLite storage |
+| `storage-filesystem` | Filesystem storage |
+| `storage-vss` | Versioned Storage Service storage |
+| `storage-postgres` | PostgreSQL storage |
+| `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` | PostgreSQL storage with vendored OpenSSL |
+| `unified-payments` | BIP 21 and human-readable-name payment support |
+| `uniffi` | UniFFI language bindings |
+| `uniffi-default` | The standard language-binding feature set |
+
+The `default` feature set preserves the native Rust API's previous behavior. It enables all three
+chain sources, SQLite, filesystem and VSS storage, and unified payments. PostgreSQL and UniFFI
+remain opt-in. Every build must enable at least one chain source feature.
+
+On Linux, `storage-postgres` uses the system OpenSSL installation and requires the OpenSSL
+development headers and `pkg-config`. Enable `storage-postgres-vendored-tls` instead to build
+OpenSSL from source. Vendored builds require a C compiler, `make`, and Perl.
+
+Disable the default features to select only the functionality and dependencies an application
+needs. For example:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features chain-esplora,storage-sqlite
+```
+
+`uniffi-default` enables UniFFI, Esplora, Electrum, SQLite, VSS, and unified payments. It excludes
+Bitcoin Core, filesystem storage, and PostgreSQL. Binding users can add any of those features:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi-default,chain-bitcoind
+```
+
+Use `uniffi` directly instead of `uniffi-default` to assemble a fully custom binding build. For
+example, a Bitcoin Core and PostgreSQL-only binding build uses:
+
+```shell
+cargo build --no-default-features --features uniffi,chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres
+```
+
+The binding generation scripts use `uniffi-default`. Set `LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES` to add features
+to their builds:
+
+```shell
+LDK_NODE_EXTRA_FEATURES=chain-bitcoind,storage-postgres \
+	./scripts/uniffi_bindgen_generate_python.sh
+```
+
 ## Compatibility
 
 LDK Node does not provide a stable public API until v1.0. Persisted node state is backwards compatible: newer releases are guaranteed to load state written by older releases. Downgrades are not supported, so state written by a newer release may not load with an older release.
